AUSTIN, Texas – When The University of Texas needed her the most, Estelle Czech took the softball and shutdown the nation's top offense en route to the Longhorns earning their first series win over Oklahoma since 2009 and as a result was named both the Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Week and Wilson/NFCA Pitcher of the Week as a result.
Czech becomes the first Texas Longhorn softball pitcher to earn both the Big 12 and NFCA's top weekly pitching honor since Hailey Dolcini picked up both on April 19, 2022. Czech becomes the third different Longhorn softball student-athlete to earn a weekly national honor from NFCA this season after Reese Atwood and Kayden Henry were both selected as the organization's top position player earlier this season.
